Conveniently located, nice views, great property. We had 3 groups staying there and one day each group went their own way with two taking the keys. The group that didn’t take the keys arrived back early. Instead of waiting 30 minutes for another group to get back to let them in, the property managers were able to buzz them in.

    The Reception lady was so helpful, nothing was a bother just so friendly. The location was excellent as we had to be at the Airport 4.30am so was so easy to walk there. Would use you guys again when we come from NZ. So close to the Beach had a lovely walk there only 2 or 3 minutes away. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    The location was excellent, 4 minute walk to almost everything, including our favourite Italian restaurant Enzos. The view was brilliant, and the size of the unit was perfect. It could do with a spruce up, like a new coat of paint, but as far as value for money we couldn't have found a better place to stay. The communication was great, and the management were polite, friendly and helpful.

    The location was excellent. Was perfect for our trip. The apartment was comfortable. Foxtel was included which was really good because the wifi kept dropping out so no online streaming. Close to Tramlines, Pacific Pines shopping and convention centre. If running the Marathon, the best location for getting on Trams. They don't stop if too full to take on more passengers closer to the start line, so you'll get on a tram no probs from this location.
